I saw a dried up river and a rich man
Turning on a garden hose
I see a young man picking up a gun
I guess that's where the money goes, yeahAm I just as good as a bad man
Sleeping while the rest are dying?
Or am I just as bad as a good man
Saying there's no use of trying?Ooh, tell me do you still believe
Ooh, everything that you read?
Till we learn to get together
And see who we really areAin't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change
If nobody's gonna wake up
And start asking who's in chargeAin't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna changeAin't shit changing but diapers on babies
Get higher than the background singers singing, singing
Okay singingSome people do it all for money
And some do it all for their love, yeah
Some do it all for the glory
'Cause nothing else they're thinking ofI saw a man in a four door truck
Complaining that the price is high
Like a well feed man with a spoon in his hand
Saying who ate all the apple pie, yeahOoh, tell me do you still believe
Ooh, everything that you read?
Till we learn to get together
And see who we really areAin't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change
If nobody's gonna wake up
And start asking who's in chargeAin't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna changeIf I ain't ready to listen I'm never gonna listen
Most follow intuition while they wishing it would work
And my vision isn't perfect so I will never look for it
Don't wish for some change like a church workerHallelujah, preacher I am not influenced
If I don't donate to your movement am I not improving?
And while the poor kill the poor for a portion
A piece of American society pieI get high, the munchies I got so bear witness
I got this girl looking at you 'cause my reps kissing
And I ain't ready to wait when there's dollars on the brain
Why would you expect change?Till we learn to get together
And see who we really areAin't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change
If nobody's gonna wake up
And start asking who's in chargeAin't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change, no, noAin't shit changing but diapers on babies
Get higher than the background singers singing, singing
